I License Change Safety Analysis Log No. 1091, Revision 1 Proposed Amendment No. 182, Revision 1 Page I Cf 38 L Reicription_oLChange Proposed Amendment No. 162, Revision 1 (PA-182, Rev. 1) creates a new L appendix, Appendix C, to Facility Operating License No. DPR-54. Appendix C, or Long Term Defueled Technical Specifications (LTDTS), will be followed in lieu of the existing Appendix A and B Technical Specifications for the current extended outage that began in June 1989, or until NRC approval of a Decommissioning Plan and the facility license is amended commensurate with a permanently shutdown facility. The LTDTS define a new mode, titled Long Term Defueled Mode (LTDM), which applies to Rancho Seco's current defueled condition. Movement of fuel into the Reactor Building would take the plant out of the LTDM and the LTDTS (Appendix C), and cause the plant to revert back to the Appendix A and B Technical Specification requirements. The LTDTS provide Limiting Condition and Surveillance requirements for the systems and components required to be OPERABLE to ensure long term safe storage of irradiated core components in the spent fuel pool. The LTDTS also provide Administrative Control requirements for the overall safe operation of the facility. Implementation of the LTDTS will ensure the continued protection of the health and safety of the pub".ic during the LTDM. Reason for change The District developed the proposed LTDTS based on (1) Rancho Seco's current defueled condition, and-(2) the District's acknowledged intent to nat operate Rancho Seco in the future. The fuel is removed from the reactor vessel and is f now stored in the spent fuel pool (SFP). Plant systems are being layed up in either a wet or dry condition, as appropriate, to limit degradation during the l current extended outage. The-LTDTS provide (1) the level of plant protection needed to deal with the credible accidents postulated in the defueled condition, (2) long term safe storage of the nuclear fuel, and (3) the necessary level of protection of the public's health and safety. The LTDTS provide a clear and concise set of Specifications applicable in an extended outage and defueled condition. The LTDTS provide relief from those Appendix A & B Technical Specification requirements which do not apply in the LTDM. The LTDTS are submitted as an addition to the current Technical Specifications and are intended to be Appendix C to facility Operating License No. DPR-54. Upon NRC approval, the LTDTS become applicable in lieu of the Appendix A and B Technical Specifications while the plant is in the LTDM or until the facility license is amended otherwise. l-l 1 i j
[ License Change Safety Analysis Log No.1091, Revision 1 Proposed Amendment No. 182, Revision 1 Page 2 cf 38 [ n luglion and Basis For Safety FindlDgi The primary difference between the proposed LTDTS and the current Rancho Seco Technical Specifications is the range of postulated accidents that these two sets of Specifications are required to address, and the range of potential radiological consequences resulting from abnormal plant conditions in the various applicable modes. Based on a review of these conditions and credible . accidents, the LTDTS were developed to provide the necessary level of protection. The Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR), Chapter 14, contains two accidents or conditions that are considered credible in the LTDM: 1. Fuel Handling Accident 2. Complete Loss of All Unit a-c Power (LOOP) These two accidents or conditions apply in the defueled condition and are i considered in the analysis below. Fuel Handlina Accident The spent fuel at Rancho Seco has undergone substantial decay (294 days as of March 28, 1990), thus the source term for a credible accident in the LTDM is significantly less than that assumed for an operating plant. Essentially no radioactive iodine is present in the plant that could have a significant dose impact on members of the public, thus the calculated thyroid exposure levels resulting from credible accidents in the LTDM are negligible. The primary l-radioisotope of concern from an offsite exposure (dose) standpoint following i the dropped fuel assembly accident, the maximum credible accident in the LTDM, is Krypton-85. Results of the analysis for the dropped fuel assembly accident in the current defueled condition show that the 2-hour integrated total body dose attributed to the maximum exposed individual is 0.013 rem. This calculated dose is an extremely small fraction of the 10 CFR 100 accident dose limit (25 rem), and is significantly less than the annual dose limit of l 10 CFR 20 (0.5 rem). The District calculation is supported by the safety evaluation that accompanied current Technical Specification 3.13.2 (Amendment 39) which requires only a 30 day spent fuel decay time prior to L fuel movement when the Auxiliary and Spent Fuel Building filter systems are not OPERABLE. The District expects only limited fuel handling activities l while the plant is in the LTDM. 1
i I License Change Safety Analysis Log No.1091, Revision 1 p Proposed Amendment ko.182, Revision 1 Page 3 Cf 38 i LDQE During normal plar.t operation; and post accident conditions it is imperative that electrical power be available to support equipment needed to operate the plant and mitigate the consequences of an accident. In the LTDM, a LOOP would result in the loss of the spent fuel pool cooling (SFC) system.
- However, there is adequate time available (see the SFP decay heat load evaluation below) to take corrective action without a safety consequence in the event of a LOOP.
Rancho Seco has six offsite power transmission lines, and has the capability to receive power directly from either the District's or PG&E's hydroelectric units in less than eight hours. An evaluation of the offsite electrical grid for Rancho Seco, performed pursuant to 10 CFR 50.63, Station Blackout, verified the stability of the Western grid. The probability of a LOOP at Rancho Seco, as evaluated in accordance with the guidelines of Regulatory Guide 1.155, is less than once per 20 years. Therefore, the emergency diesel generators are not required to ensure power availability to support SFC equipment in the event of a LOOP. An alternate power supply can be made available well within the minimum time required to take corrective action to restore SFC. A LOOP will not result in a release of any significant amount of SFP inventory or radioactivity. SFP Decav Heat Load The controls required to protect the spent fuel in the LTDM are predicated primarily on the level of decay heat in the SFP. The decay heat load for the SFP in the defueled condition was calculated using the methodology described in ANSI /ANS 5.1-1979 and BTP ASB 9-2. The decay heat load in the SFP, as a function of time, is shown in Table 1 (see page 34 of this Safety Analysis Report). Table 1 also provides, as a function of calendar date, the time required for the SFP to reach 2;2'F from an initial temperature of 120'F, and the time required to boil 6.75 feet of water from the SFP following a loss of SFC. The 6.75 feet was chosen since the SFP water level is normally maintained above 37 feet (the low-low level alarm) and, as evaluated previously, must be maintained at 30 feet 3 inches to limit the dose rate at the SFP surface to 2.5mr/hr when 1080 spent fuel assemblies that have decayed 3 days following irradiation at 100% power is stored in the SFP. This SFP surface dose rate calculation is very conservative since the reactor was not operated at 100% power as assumed in the dose rate calculation, the number of spent fuel assemblies stored in the SFP is much less than 1080, and the actual decay time of the 493 spent fuel assemblies in the SFP is significantly higher than the 3 days assumed. No safety implication exists for a significantly lower SFP level as long as personnel exposure is monitored and maintained as low as is reasonably achievable. LTDTS Specification D3/4.1 provides limits for the SFP surface dose rate. The results. presented in Table 1 are conservative since they are based on the following conservative assumptions: 1. The power history for nach reactor run is calculated to have been accumulated as the effective full power days (EFPD) of the run at 100% power at the end of the run (i.e., the 245 EFPD run ending on June 7,1989 is assumed to have occurred at 100% power in the last 245 days before June 7, 1989 when in fact it was spread out over a 48 month period).
License Change Safety Analysis Log No.1091, Revision 1 Proposed Amendment No. 182, Revision 1 Page 4 cf 38 f 2. The decay heat load calculations include a 101, conservatism factor. 3. There is no heat loss from the SFP due to evaporation or ambient losses, except after the SFP reaches the boiling point. As seen in Table 1, upon a loss of SFC the minimum time required to reach boiling in the SFP is 74.4 hours as of January 3,1990, and increases to 96.12 hours on June 7, 1990. Thus, a minimum of 3 days, and in the near future 4 days, is available to restore SFC prior to the occurrence of boiling following a loss of SFC. In addition, if the extra time available through boil-off of 6.7S feet of the 37 foot normal minimum water depth is taken into account, a minimum of 9.18 days as of January 3,1990 and 11.86 days as of June 7,1990 is available for corrective actions to be implemented to restore SFC. If e boil-off of SFP water were to occur due to a loss of SFC, a simple addition of water to the SFP would extend the time to implement corrective actions to restore SFC, if necessary. No degradation effects on the fuel and cladding is associated with SFP boiling since the fuel is designed to operate at significantly higher coolant temperatures than 212'F. The effect of thermal stresses on the structural support of the SFP have been analyzed and found acceptable up to a SFP temperature of 212*F. Therefore, a 212'F SFP temperature does not impose a safety hazard. Criticality Control Criticality control in the SFP is achieved through the use of high density fuel storage racks that contain a neutron absorbing material (Boraflex) within the rack plates. These racks are designed to hold 1,080 fuel assemblies at 4,0 weight percent enrichment with unborated water in the SFP while still maintaining Kett less than 0.95. The current fuel inventory in the SFP is 493 assemblies with a maximum enrichment prior to burnup of 3.21 weight percent. District calculations show that the estimated maximum synthesized enrichment (remaining U-235 plus fissile Pu) for any assembly in the SFP is 2.573 weight percent, thus providing an even greater shutdown margin. Also, control assemblies are stored in several spent fuel assemblies. This provides additional neutron absorption material; therefore, no boron is required in the .SFP to maintain adequate shutdown margin. The SFP storage rack neutron absorption capability is monitored through a coupon sampling program. Boraflex material samples are periodically removed l from the SFP for testing to verify rack performance. To date, the removed l coupons have provided verification of the Boraflex integrity, absorption capability, and spent fuel storage rack performance as designed. In addition, the LTDTS contain new requirements to monitor the SFP water for chloride and fluoride levels to assure rack and fuel structural integrity is maintained over time. The combination of these two programs provides assurance that the spent fuel storage racks will remain structurally sound and perform their i intended. criticality control function. 1 l
N ? 4h License Change Safety Analysis Log No. 1091, Revision 1 Proposed Amendment No. 162. Revision 1 Page 5 cf 38 An additional' event considered for the LTDM is the drop of a spent fuel cask. This event is addressed in USAR sections 9.8.2.4 and 9.8.2.5. Because of the many mechanical and electrical interlocks and administrative controls associated with the Turbine Building Gantry Crane, which are designed to prevent movement of a cask over spent fuel assemblies, the drep of a cask onto spent fuel assemblies is not considered a credible event. In addition, plant configuration and crane interlocks prevent a spent fuel cask from being lifted to a height more than 26 feet in air or 33 feet 6 inches in water during the cask transport process. Casks are required to be rated for a 30 foot drop in air pursuant to 10 CFR 71. This height in air is equivalent to more than a 40 foot drop in water. Therefore, cask integrity is assured in the unlikely event a cask is dropped. i In addition to the above evaluation of the accidents and conditions considered credible in the LTDM, several Generic Letters, as listed below, are considered in the preparation of the LTDTS as follows: a.

Specification Number Discussion 1.3 The definition for the term OPERABLE is modified to remove the requirement for an operable emergency power source while the plant is in the LTDM. The current Technical Specifications do not require the emergency power supplies to be OPERABLE when the plant is in a mode below Heatup-Cooldown. Also, the requirement for an OPERABLE redundant system is not applicable in the LTDM. A revised definition of OPERABLE is included in the LTDTS as Specification D1.3. 1.4 These definitions apply to systems such as SFAS and RPS that are not in service in the LTDM. These terms are not used in the LTDTS and are not included in the Definition section. 1.5 The definitions from this Specification that are used in the j LTDTS, i.e. Channel Test, Instrument Channel Check, Instrument Channel Calibration, and Functional Test, are included as Definitions DI.4.1, DI.4.2, Dl.4.3 and D1.4.4, respectively. The remaining terms are not used in the LTDTS and are not included in the Definition section. 1.6 This definition section describes core reactivity conditions that are not applicable with the reactor defueled and are therefore not included in the LTDTS. l7 This Specification defines Containment Integrity which is not applicable in the LTDM. Therefore, this definition is not included in the LTDTS. 1.8 The description for Licensee Event Report (LER) is included in the LTDTS as specification D6.9.4. Therefore, a definition for LER placed in the LTDTS Definition section is not necessary and is not included. 1.9 The surveillance intervals applicable for the LTDTS are included as Speci fication D1.5 and Table D1.5-1. The requirement to not exceed 3,25 surveillance time intervals for any three consecutive { intervals is removed and rewritten in accordance with Generic Letter 89-14. 1.10 The term Safety is changed to Nuclear Safety and is included in the LTDTS as Specification 01.10. 1.11 This Specification defines Fire Protection terms that are removed in Proposed License Amendment No. 180 per Generic Letter 88-12. Therefore, these terms are not included in the LTDTS.

This section is designed to maintain the integrity of the fuel cladding during reactor operation and prevent fission product release to the RCS. These Specifications are not applicable in the LTDM. Therefore, this section is not included in the LTDTS. 3.0.1 This Specification has been modified to reflect the presence of only one mode in the LTDTS. 3.0.2 The phrase " Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO)" is changed to " Limiting Condition (LC)" since the plant is not permitted to operate in the LTDM in accordance with the LTDTS. 3.0.3 This Specification provides the time limit within which a mode change must be made when an LCO is not met. This Specification is not applicable when the LTDTS are applicable since the plant can only be in one mode. Therefore, this Specification is not included in the LTDTS. 3.0.4 This Specification provides restrictions for entry into an operational mode. This Specification is not applicable when the LTDTS are applicable since the plant can only be in one mode. Therefore, this Specification is not included in the LTDTS. 3.1 Specifications 3.1.1.1 through 3.1.9.2 are not required to be met below the Heatup-Cooldown mode and are not incluGed in the LTDTS. These Specifications are not applicable since they provide protection of the RCS and the reactor core which is not a safety concern in the LTDM. 3.2 Specification 3.2.1 provides for adequate boration control and ensures the ability to bring the reactor to cold shutdown following an accident. Since the heat and criticality source (the core) has been removed, no need to provide this type of protection exists. The requirements of Specification 3.2.1 are not included in the LTDTS. l 1 L
[ I License Change Safety Analysis -Log No. 1091, Revision-1 Proposed Amendment No. 182, Revision 1 Page 9 cf 38 Technical Specification 4 Number Discussion 3.2 During power plant operations Technical Specification 3.2.2 (Cont.) assures, in cold conditions, that the core will be covered with water by preserving the physical integrity of the reactor vessel, thereby protecting the health and safety of the public. This is accomplished by specifying requirements that are designed to 1 protect the vessel from an inadvertent pressurization when the plant is in a cold operating condition, i.e., when the RCS is at or below 350' F with fuel in the reactor and the RCS not open to the Reactor Building atmosphere. With.the reactor vessel defueled and RCS operation no longer necessary or desired, overpressure protection, to.the extent defined in Specification 3.2.2, is not required or needed to mitigate the consequences of a design basis accident considered credible in the LTDM. In the LTDM, 1 overpressure protection is needed only to help protect and preserve plant equipment for possible future use, not'to ensure the health and safety of the public. Because overpressure protection for the RCS is not required to ensure Nuclear Safety in the LTDM, overpressure protection requirements are not included in the LTDTS. The necessary level of overpressure protection in the LTDM is considered and addressed in the layup plan for the RCS. While the plant is in the LTDM, overpressure protection requirements will be administrative 1y controlled through plant procedures and will implement good engineering practices. 3.3 Specifications 3.3.1 through 3.3.2 address requirements for the Emergency Core Cooling, Reactor Building Emergency Cooling, and Reactor Building Spray systems and are not applicable below the Heatup-Cooldown mode. Since the reactor is defueled, there are no postulated accidents that require these systems to be operational. Therefore, the requirements of these Specifications are not included in the LTDTS. 3.4 Specifications 3.4.1 through 3.4.2 specify the components required to be Operable to maintain the steam generators in service as an RCS heat removal source. These Specifications are not applicable-below the Heatup-Cooldown mode since below this mode the RCS is not at a temperature where the steam generators are required to be in service. Therefore, these Specifications are not included in the LTDTS. -l i } i

These Specifications are not applicable below the Heatup-Cooldown mode. Because the reactor is defueled and no postulated accidents of any significant consequence are postulated to occur in the Reactor Building, these Specifications are not included in the LTDTS. 3.5.2 Specifications 3.5.2.1 and 3.5.2.2 provide limits on core power distribution and control rod Operability and are not applicable during the Cold Shutdown / Refueling Shutdown / Refueling Operations modes. Since the reactor is defueled, these Specifications are not included in the LTDTS. 3.5.3 Specification 3.5.3 provides setpoints for SFAS and is not applicable in the Cold Shutdown / Refueling Shutdown / Refueling Operations modes. Since the accidents mitigated by SFAS actuation are not credible in the defueled condition, this Specification is not included in the LTDTS. 3.5.4 Specifications 3.5.4.1 and 3.5.4.2 provide core axial imbalance and radial tilt limits for reactor operation. These Specifications are not applicable during the Cold Shutdown / Refueling Shutdown / Refueling Operations modes and are not included in the LTDTS since there is no fuel in the core. 3.5.5 Specification 3.5.5 provides a list of accident monitoring equipment that must be Operable for reactor operations. As stated in Note (1) of Technical Specification Table 3.5.5-1, this Specification is not applicable in the Cold Shutdown / Refueling Shutdown / Refueling Operations modes and is therefore not included in the LTDTS. The postulated accidents these instruments are required to monitor are not credible in the LTDM. 3.5.6 Specification 3.5.6 provides setpoints for the EFIC system. The EFIC system is not required to be Operable in the Cold Shutdown / Refueling Shutdown / Refueling Operations modes. This Specification is not included in the LTDTS since the steam generators that the EFIC system supports are not required in the LTDM. 3.5.7 Specification 3.5.7 provides a list of instrumentation required to achieve and maintain Hot Shutdown from outside the Control Room. This capability is required when the plant is in Hot Shutdown or above and is not required in the Cold Shutdown / Refueling Shutdown / Refueling Operations modes. Therefore, this Specification is not included in the LTDTS. a
License Change Safety Analysis Log No.1091, Revision 1 Proposed Amendment No. 182, Revision 1 Page 11 cf 38 Technical Specification Number Discussion I 3.6 Specifications 3.6.1 through 3.6.8 provide containment integrity requirements to ensure that radiological releases to the environment following an accident inside the Reactor Building are maintained within 10 CFR 100 limits. Since there are no postulated accidents that could occur inside containment in the LTDM whose consequences could come anywhere near the 10 CFR 100 limits, these Specifications are not included in the LTDTS. 3.7 Specifications 3.7.1 through 3.7.4 provide Operability requirements for the normal and emergency power sources. As previously addressed in this submittal (see pages 3 and 4 of this Safety Analysis Report (SAR)), a significant amount of time is available to take corrective action to restore offsite power in the unlikely event of a LOOP. Therefore, an emergency power supply is not required, and these Specifications are not needed to ensure power is provided in a timely manner to support equipment in the LTDM. These Specifications are not included in the LT.0TS. 3.8 Specification 3.8 provides requirements for fuel handling operations in the Spent fuel Building. The Specification 3.8.1 radiation monitor associated with the Spent Fuel Building is included in the LTDTS as Specification D3/4.4. The Applicability of the new Specification has been increased to "whenever irradiated fuel assemblies are in the spent fuel pool" to reflect the importance of monitoring the SFP Building in the LTDM. The Action statement for Specification D3/4.4 is consistent with the requirements of current Specification 3.8.1, except that a reporting requirement has been added for the inoperability of fixed radiation monitoring equipment. The radiation monitors associated with the Reactor Building are not included in the LTDTS since no fuel handling in the reactor building is allowed under the LTDTS. Specifications 3.8.2 through 3.8.11 and 3.8.13 are associated with fuel movement in the Reactor Building, are not applicable in the LTDM, and are not included in the LTDTS. The restriction on movement of loads over irradiated fuel I assemblies in the SFP (Specification 3.8.12) is modified and included in the LTDTS as specification D3/4.3. The load limit chosen (1700 pounds) ensures that no loads in excess of the nominal weight of a fuel and control rod assembly and associated handling tool are moved over irradiated fuel assemblies. This is consistent with the assumptions made in the accident analysis for a dropped fuel assembly, and assures in the event such a load was dropped that (1) the activity released would be limited to the activity contained in a single fuel assembly, and (2) any possible distortion of fuel in the SFP will not result in the formation of J a critical array. l
b License Change Safety Analysis Log No. 1091, Revision i Proposed Amendment No. 182, Revision 1 Page 12 cf 38 Technical Specification Number D_iscuts10D 3.9 Specification 3.9.1 is included in the LTDTS as Specification D3/4.2, except, a generic alternate cooling method is referenced instead of specifying one train of the Decay Heat Removal System (DHRS). The District is considering the installation of a new SFC system that would use a single cooling loop and a water to air radiator. Either this new system or one train of the DHRS could provide an alternate means of cooling the SFP. It is unnecessary to restrict the options of the District by designating a specific system as the backup SFC system as is done in Specification 3.9.1. Specifications 3.9.2 and 3.9.3 provide restrictions on the use of DHR as a SFP cooling source when DHR is required for RCS protection. In the LTDM the DHR system is not required for protection of-the reactor. Therefore, these Specifications are not included in the LTDTS. Specification 3.9.4, SFP temperature limit, is modified to remove the reactor operation limitations and include temperature limits with associated Actions to ensure adequate SFP temperature control. A SFP temperature Specification is included in the LTDTS as D3/4.2. Specification 3.9.5, SFP water level, is retained in the LTDTS and modified to include an additional SFP surface radiation surveillance requirement when the SFP water level is below 37 feet. The 2.5 mrem /hr limitation is addressed in USAR Section 9.8. These requirements are included in the LTDTS as Specification 03/4.1. 3.10 Specification 3.10 provides a limit for the amount of Iodine-131 in the secondary side of the steam generators. Since no residual Iodine-131 exists in the secondary plant from previous reactor operation and there is no new production of Iodine-131 in the LTDM, this Specification is not included in the LTDTS. 3.11 Specification 3.11 provides limits on the use of the Reactor Building Polar Crane and Auxiliary Holst. Since there is no fuel in the reactor vessel, the safety consequences of a dropped load in the Reactor Building are negligible. This Specification is not required to help enst.re the protection of the public's health and safety; therefore, this Specification is not included in the LTDTS. /

Specification Number-Discussion 3.12 Specification 3.12 provides testing requirements for snubbers on safety related systems. Only one snubber remains in the LTDM that is considered safoty related. This snubber is located on the SFC system. This snubber will be maintained under a testing and inspection program consistent with the current Technical Specification required program. The maintenance of this snubber is required to ensure the SFC is capable'of performing its intended function when required by LTDTS Specification D3/4.2, SFP Temperature. With only one snubber involved, there is no justification for a detailed Snubber Technical Specification. The maintenance and testing will be performed to ensure continued acceptable performance of the SFC snubber and will be administratively controlled. by plant-procedures. 3.13 Specifications 3.13.1, 3.13.3 and 3.13.4 provide requirements for the Control Room / Technical Support Center (CR/TSC) and Reactor Building Purge Exhaust filter systems when containment integrity is required and reactor operation is intended. Containment integrity is not required and reactor operation is not allowed in the LTDM. Maintaining CR/TSC Emergency Filtering System Technical Specifications is not required in the LTDM since the source term is_ low enough, due to fission gas decay, that a fuel handling accident will not result in exposure to Control Room personnel anywhere'near allowable habitability levels. The chlorine detector requirements (CR/TSC Emergency Filtering System operability per Specification 3.13, Table 4.1-1, Item 44c, and Specification 4.10.10.2) are required as part of the CR/TSC habitability requirements for plant operations. When the plant is shut down, the CR/TSC Emergency Filtering system is not required to be OPERABLE and the CR/TSC habitability requirements are not applicable. Therefore, in the LTDM the chlorine detector requirements are not applicable and are not included in_ the LTDTS. Specifications 3.13.1 and 3.13.4 address the Operability of the Reactor Building Purge Exhaust Filter System in relation to continued reactor operation and containment integrity. In the LTDM, reactor operation is not allowed and containment integrity l is not required; therefore, these Specification requirements are not included in the LTDTS. The requirements for operating the Reactor Building Purge Exhaust Filter System as a Gaseous Radwaste Treatment system is addressed in Specification 3.18.4.

- However, Specification 3.18,4, Gaseous Radwaste Treatment, addresses both the Haste Gas System (HGS) and the VETS.
In the LTDM, the HGS is not required to perform-its intended function or meet the design objectives of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I; therefore, operating requirements for the HGS are not included in the LTDTS. The HGS is designed to collect and hold for eventual release fission product gases generated in the Reactor Coolant System (RCS).during reactor operation. This design meets the design objectives of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I for an operating plant. Now ( that the reactor has been defueled and the RCS depressurized and vented' to atmosphere for an extended period of time, essentially all tne fission product gases contained in the RCS and collected -in-the HGS have'been released through the HGS. Hith negligible amounts of radioactive gases available for discharge through the HGS in the LTDM, the HGS is not required to be used as a Gaseous Radwaste Treatment _(GRT) system to help ensure to 10 CFR 50, [ Appendix I guidelines are met in the LTDM. This Appendix I design objective is met through the use of the VETS as GRT systems, because the composition of gaseous effluent in the LTDM will be almost exclusively particulate matter with no Iodine. Therefore, in the LTDM the HGS is not required to collect and hold gases for Appendix I considerations, and the GRT requirements for the HGS are not included in the LTDTS or the ODCM.

The HGDTs are used to store fission product gases and other off-gases from the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) produced during reactor operation and removed from the RCS by the Makeup and Purification System. During normal . plant operation, hydrogen is used as the cover gas in the Makeup Tank to provide a means of oxygen scavenging in the RCS. Now that the reactor has been defueled and the RCS depressurized and vented to atmosphere for-an extended period of time, the fission product gases and hydrogen normally entrained in the RCS have been released through the HGDTs. Any remaining radioactive or other gases normally collected in the HGDTs will be discharged through the Auxiliary Building Stack Ventilation System without being held up in the WGDTs. Thus, no potential exists for accumulating an explosive gas mixture in the WGDTs. Also, the quantity of radioactive gases available to the HGS in the LTDM is minimal. The design basis for the activity content limit on the HGDTs assumes there is fuel in the reactor and an excessively high RCS specific activity. This design basis condition is not applicable in the LTDH. Therefore, it is not necessary to hold up radionuclides in the HGDTs or monitor the concentration of oxygen in the HGDTs during the LTDM, and the requirements of these Specifications are not applicable and are not included in the LTDTS. 3.21 This Specification provides requirements for Solid Radioactive Hastes and has been removed from the Technical Specifications pursuant to the requirements of Generic Letter 89-01 and placed in the Process Control Program (PCP). The PCP was included as part of the original PA-182 submittal package for NRC review. 3.22 Radiological Environmental Monitoring 3.23 Land Use Census Specifications 3.22 and 3.23 have been removed from the Technical Specifications pursuant to the requirements of Generic Letter 89-01 and placed in the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) Manual. The REMP Manual was included as part of the original PA-182 submittal package for NRC review. 3.26 This Specification provides Interlaboratory Comparison Program requirements that are applicable to the REMP. This requirement has been removed from the Technical Specifications pursuant to Generic Letter 89-01 and placed in the REMP Manual. l

This system provides a backup emergency HVAC system for the NSEB and the electrical equipment contained within the building. The requirements of this Specification are applicable in the Heatup through Power Operations modes, and are not applicable in the LTDM. With the plant shutdown and the reactor defueled, the heat load in the NSEB is significantly reduced since most of the equipment supplied from buses in this building is deenergized. A significant period of time is available to allow restoration of a HVAC system should the operating system become unavailable. A Specification for these systems is not included in the LTDTS. 3.28 This Specification provides requirements for the TDI Diesel Generator Control Room Essential Ventilation System and is applicable in the Heatup through Power Operations modes. The emergency power sources are not required to be maintained OPERABLE in the current plant condition. Based on the LOOP analysis and the requirements for the current plant condition, the requirements of Specification 3.28 are not applicable in the LTDM and are not included in the LTDTS. 3.29 This Specification provides requirements for the Meteorological Monitoring Instrumentation. The data collected-from this instrumentation is currently used in dose calculations. The extended decay time of the fuel (327 days as of April 30, 1990) has eliminated the possibility of an offsite dose to a member of the public that would require protective action. -Also, the activity level of-normal gaseous effluent releases from the site 1 has decreased to the point where multi-year average meteorological values for offsite dose calculations can be used without affecting Rancho Seco's ability to maintain within the 10 CFR 50, Appendix I dose guidelines. An eleven year operating baseline of meteorological data is available for determining multi-year averages. In the LTDM, the Meteorological Monitoring Instrumentation required by the Emergency Plan will be administrative 1y controlled and maintained through plant procedures to ensure this instrumentation will function as required. Therefore, this Specification is not included in the LTDTS. 3.30 .This Specification provides requirements for the Hydrogen Recombiners which control hydrogen gas inventory in the H containment following a LOCA. The Hydrogen Recombiners are l required to be Operable when the reactor is subcritical by less than 1 percent ak/k. Since the reactor is defueled the Hydrogen j l Recombiners are not required in the LTDM and are not included in l the LTDTS. l [ l l

This Specification is not applicable in the LTDM and is not included in the LTDTS. ,j 1 4.1 This Specification provides surveillance and testing requirements for instrumentation associated with RPS, SFAS, Process In:;trumentation, and Emergency Shutdown Instrumentation. Most of this instrumentation is required for reactor operation and transient monitoring, and accident identification and mitigation for an operating nuclear power plant, which is not applicable in the LTDM.- But, several items from Table 4.1-1 are applicable in the LTDM. Table 4.1-1. Items 44a, 44b, 45, and 63 are dispositioned as l follows: a) Surveillance and testing requirements for those radiation monitors required by the Standard RETS (NUREG-0472) and associated with radioactive effluent control and monitoring have been relocated to the ODCM in accordance with the requirements of Generic Letter 89-01. (See the evaluation for Specifications 3.15, 3.16, 3.17 and 3.18 on pages 14 and 15 of this SAR.) b) The SFP area radiation monitor is included in the LTDTS as Specification D3/4.4. i l c) The remaining radiation monitors are used for general area and L process monitoring, are not included in the Standard Technical Specifications, are controlled by administrative and technical procedures, and are therefore not included in the LTDTS. l l l l h

Changes to this procedure would-require both a 10 CFR 50.59 and 10 CFR 50.54(q) review to determine if an Unreviewed Safety Question or a reduction in the effectiveness of the Emergency Plan would result. Also, the Nuclear Safety Review and Audit Committee and the AGM, Nuclear is required by the LTDTS (Specifications 06.5.1.7d and D6.5.3a, respectively) to review all Emergency Plan implementing procedure changes. Therefore, the surveillance requirements specified in Table 4.1-1, Item 45 are not included in the LTDTS. Table 4.1-1, Item 44c, Chlorine Detector, is not applicable in the LTDM and is not included in the LTDTS. See the evaluation for Specification 3.13 (page 13 of this SAR). Table 4.1-1 Item 46 Environmental Air Monitors, has been relocated to the REMP in accordance with Generic Letter 89-01. Table 4.1-1, Item 47, Strong Motion Accelerometer, is used to provide information for plant shutdown and cooldown following a Safe Shutdown Earthquake or Design Basis Earthquake. Since the plant is already shut down, the accelerometer would only provide information that is also available from State or Federal Agencies. Therefore, this instrument is not included in the LTDTS
- since this type of information is available from other sources.
Table 4.1-1, Item 51, SFP Level, is included in LTDTS Specification D3/4.1. The RPS and SFAS related surveillance requirements listed in Table 4.1-1 (Items 1 through 27) apply to an operating nuclear power plant, are not applicable in the LTDM, and are not included in the LTDTS. The reactor operation, transient, and accident monitoring instrumentation and Emergency Core Cooling System process instrumentation surveillance requirements addressed in Table 4.1-1 (Items 28 through 43, 49, 50, 52 through 62, 64 through 56, 58 through 76, and 84 through 90) are not applicable in the LTDM and are not included in the LTDTS (No surveillances are associated with Items 48 and 77 through 81), 4 ,] ~h

if degraded voltage or a LOOP is experienced, several hours are available to regain-electric' power and re-establish SFC (see the evaluation on page 3 of this SAR). The emergency power sources are not. required in the LTDM. Therefore, Item 57 is not included in the LTDTS. Table 4.1-1, Items 82 and 83, Spray Pond Hater Temperature and Level, is not included in the LTDTS based on the LOOP analysis and the amount of time available to restore SFC. Table 4.1-2, Items 1 through 4, 6, 7, 10, and 12 through 19 are surveillances that are required for a plant with fuel in the reactor or a plant that intends to operate. In the LTDM no fuel is-allowed in the reactor building and no intent to operate the plant exists. Therefore, these surveillances are not included in the LTDTS. Table 4.1-2 Item 5, Refueling System Interlocks, is included in LTDTS Specification 03/4.3 to require testing of the Spent Fuel Building fuel handling system interlocks only. The Applicability Statement for this surveillance ensures completion of Functional Testing within 7 days prior to fuel handling. Table 4.1-2, Item 8, Charcoal and High Efficiency Filters, is not included in the LTDTS. Because the plant has been shut down since June 1989, iodine levels in the plant have decayed away to essentially zero. Therefore, charcoal filtration units are not required in the LTDM. Also, the radioactive gaseous effluent requirements which address the operation of the HEPA Filters (Spec'Ifications 3.18.4 and 4.22.4) have been relocated to the ODCM in accordance with Generic Letter 89-01. For further discussions on the requirements of the charcoal and HEPA Filters in the LTDM, see the evaluations for Specifications 3.13, 3.18.4, and 3.18.5 (pages-13 through 16 of this SAR). The Table 4.1-2, Item 9, Fire Pumps and Power Supplies, is relocated to the Fire Protection Plan pursuant to the requirements of Generic Letter 88-12. Relocation of the fire protection requirements is addressed in Proposed Amendment No.180.

Technical Specification Number Discussion 4.1 Table 4.1-2,.~ Item 11, SFC System, requires functional testing of (Cont.). the SFC system each refueling interval prior to fuel handling.- This requirement.is met by continuously maintaining the SFP temperature below 140 degrees Fahrenheit. cThe intent of the Specification is to. test the SFC system prior to the addition of more spent fuel to the SFP. Because no more Spent Fuel will'be s 'added to the SFP in the LTDM, the heat load in the SFP will. continue to decrease from a calculated value of 3.6 million BTU / hour as of January 3,1990 to 2.8.million BTU / hour on June 7, 1990. This compares to a design capacity of the SFC of 8.76 million BTU / hour. Extraordinary system degradation would have to occur for the system to not meet its intended function. Therefore, the Functional Test will consist of verifying normal operation of the SFC System'and maintaining the SFP temperature .below 140*F. Implementation of corrective actions if significant SFC performance degradation is detected will be required and addressed in plant administrative procedures. Table 4.1-3, Items 2,4,-and 6, Maintenance of a Minimum Boron Concentration in the Borated Hater Storage Tank, SFP, and Concentrated Boric Acid Tank, are not required in the LTDM since borated water is not needed to maintain adequate shutdown margin in the SFP (see evaluation on page 3 and 4 of this SAR). Therefore, these requirements are not included in the LTDTS. Table 4.1-3, Items 1, 3, 5, 7 and 8 are applicable only for an operating plant with fuel in the reactor. In the LTDM these surveillance requirements are not applicable and are not included in the LTDTS. 4.2 Specifications 4.2.2.1 through 4.2.2.5 provide inspection, examination, and testing requirements for systems as called out in ASME Section XI for Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components. The inspections identified verify the integrity over time of high 1 temperature, high pressure systems. The systems remaining at Rancho Seco are-at relatively low pressure and temperature when compared to their' design limits. Therefore, erosion and corrosion expected at high temperature and pressure would not be expected. ASME Section XI, section IHA-2400(c)-provides for the deferral of inspections due to extended plant outages. Being in the LTDM constitutes an extended plant outage. While the plant is in the LTDM, these inspection and examination requirements will not be performed and thus are not included in the LTDTS.

Revision 1 Page 22 cf 38 -Technical -Speciftcation Number Discussion 4.2-The testing requirements for pumps and valves are established to (Cont.') verify equipment is capable of meeting their design requirements. The systems remaining in service at Rancho Seco are experiencing a continual decrease in required capability as a function of time due.to the decay of the spent fuel. The pumps and valves required .to' remain in service will be maintained under the District's preventive maintenance program which includes vibration, pressure drop, and flow monitoring for rotating equipment and systenis in use in the LTDM to identify problems prior to failures. This program is similar to-that which would be implemented under Section XI. 'These requirements will be administratively controlled and are not included in the LTDTS. 4.2.3 This requirement is the surveillance for Specification 3.1.6, which is only applicable above Cold Shutdown. Monitoring the RCS for leakage is unnecessary in the LTDM because the reactor is defueled. This surveillance is not included in the LTDTS. See the evaluation for Specification 3.1 on page 8 of this SAR. 4.3 The verification of RCS integrity prior to returning to criticality is not applicable in the LTDM and is not included in the LTDTS. 4.4 Specifications 4.4.1.1 through 4.4.2.6 provide testing, inspection, and-inservice surveillance requirements which monitor p the structural and leakage integrity of the Reactor Building. In the LTDM, there are no credible accidents that require Reactor Building integrity. Maintaining Reactor Building integrity as specified in these surveillance requirements is no longer required -to provide reasonable assurance that activities conducted at the facility will not result in undue risk to the health and safety of the public. Therefore, these surveillance requirements are not required in the LTDM and are not included in the LTDTS. L 4.5 Specifications 4.5.1 through 4.5.3 provide testing requirements to verify proper operation of the Emergency Core Cooling and Reactor Building Spray systems. With the reactor defueled, the need for these systems no longer exists. Therefore, these surveillance requirements are not included in the LTDTS. The DHR system leakage testing requirement in Specification 4.5.3 is predicated on assuring that the system will operate to cool the reactor for approximately 200 days and will minimize the dose due to leakage from this system following a loss of coolant accident (LOCA). In the LTDM, a LOCA as defined in the USAR is not credible; therefore, this requirement is not included in the LTDTS. l u e

This new 1 boundary is established in accordance with the defueled condition Emergency Plan. The EPZ is reduced to the industrial area boundary outlined in LTDTS Figure 05.1-1. The size of the EPZ boundary.is based on the minimal consequences that result from the few accidents considered credible in the LTDH. At this boundary, calculated radioactive exposures do not exceed the Protective Action Guidelines of EPA 520/1-75-001-A, January 1990, Manual of Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents, for the worst caso defueled condition design basis accident (the dropped fuel assembly. accident). The EA and LPZ are acceptability criteria used by the NRC to determine suitability of proposed reactor sites in relation to 10 CFR 100 release limits, are not applicable in the LTDM, because the dose consequence of the dropped fuel assembly accident-in-the LTDM is an extremely small fraction of the 10 CFR 100 limits (see the-evaluation on page 2 of this SAR) and are replaced by the EPZ. The titles of Figures 5.1-3 and 5.1-4 are modified in accordance with the Standard Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications (NUREG-0472) to clarify the application and significance of the two effluent boundaries. Also, the two figures are renumbered DS.1-2 and D5.1-3 and included in the LTDTS. The gaseous effluent boundary (LTDTS Figure D5.1-2) applies to gaseous effluents released from the site under normal conditions and is used to evaluate both 10 CFR'20 and 10 CFR 50, Appendix I compliance. The liquid effluent boundary (LTDTS Figure D5.1-3) identifies the boundary at which radiological liquid effluent actually leaves the industrial area. The dose accountability points for meeting the 10 CFR 50, Appendix I guidelines remains at the A and B Regenerant Hold-Up Tanks, and the concentration accountability points for determining 10 CFR 20, Appendix B compliance remains at the Retention Basins. Under accident conditions the EPZ boundary is used to evaluate the potential consequences of an accident and the corresponding response and notification actions required in accordance with the defueled condition Emergency Plan. The EPZ boundary is the same as the liquid effluent boundary, and more conservative than the gaseous effluent boundary.

Since the Reactor is defueled, this Specification is no longer applicable and is not included in the LTDTS. 3 5.4 The descriptions of spent fuel storage in the Spent Fuel Storage Building have been included in the LTDTS as Specification D5.2. The remainder of this Specification addresses new fuel storage, is not applicable in the-LTDM, and is not included in the LTDTS. 6.1 The responsibilities specified for facility management are redefined for the LTDM and included as Section D6.1 of the LTDTS. The titles have been~ changed to reflect the present organization. Directives are in place to delineate responsibility for the current Technical Specification duties. 6.2.1 This Specification has been changed to reflect new position titles, the LTDM, and is included as LTDTS D6.2.1. 6.2.2 Specifications 6.2.2a and 6.2.2h are combined and included in the LTDTS as Specification D6.2.2a. Specification D6.2.2a references the minimum operator shift crew requirements of Table D6.2-l'and modifies the qualification requirement of the individual who.
- supervises the Shift Supervisors. The title Shift Operations
' Superintendent is removed and replaced with a general description of the position. The modified qualification requirement for the individual who directly supervises the Shift Supervisors is consistent with the attached training programs and the LTDM. Table 6.2-1 Shift Crew Personnel and License Requirements, is modified to reflect the LTDM and is included in the LTDTS as Table D6.2-1, Minimum Shift Crew Requirements. As indicated in Table e 06.2-1, the qualification requirements for a Shift Supervisor is no longer a NRC licensed senior operator, but rather a Certified Fuel Handler (CFH) pursuant to the requirements contained in Attachment III, Certified-Fuel Handler Training Programs. In the LTDM, the requirement for NRC licensed operators is removed. With the reactor defueled to the spent fuel pool, plant closure activities in progress, and no intention by the District to operate the plant, the District has determined that the requirements of 10 CFR 55 for licensed operators and senior licensed operators are not applicable. Training programs are provided for NRC review and approval (Attachment III), pursuant to l the guidance of 10 CFR 72.192 and the NRC's Nuclear Materials Safety and Safeguards General Plan for Operator Certification under 10 CFR 72.
License Change Safety Analysis Log N3. 1091, Revision'1 Proposed Amendment N3.182, Revisicn 1 Page 27 cf 38 -Technical Specification i Number Discussion 6.2.2 The minimum shift crew requirements for the LTDM meet the number (Cont.) of personnel required by 10 CFR 50.54(m) for a facility with a single, non-operating unit, but exclude the NRC licensed operator requirements. A current plant operator can qualify as a Shift Supervisor by becoming a CFH in accordance with the-training programs provided for NRC approval. The Shift Supervisor continues to be charged with the control room command function. The training and qualification requirements contained in the new training programs for the. Shift Supervisor.are commensurate with the Shift Supervisor's fuel handling, control room command function, and supervisory responsibilities in the LTDM. The change from NRC licensed operators to District certified fuel handlers is commensurate with the change of Rancho Seco from an operating reactor facility to a permanently and completely defueled facility with all fuel stored in the spent fuel pool. Pursuant to 10 CFR 55.2(a) individuals who m nipulate the " controls" of a utilization facility, licensed pursuant to 10 CFR 50, must be NRC licensed operators. " Controls" are defined in 10 CFR 55.4 as " apparatus and mechanisms the manipulation of which directly affects the reactivity or power level of the reactor". With all fuel stored in the spent fuel pool,-there are no controls that can be manipulated which directly or indirectly affect the-reactivity or-power level of the reactor. Therefore, the District has concluded that the requirements of 10 CFR 55 do not apply to Rancho Seco in the long term defueled condition. A formal review of the change in the training program was performed pursuant to the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59. This review determined that the change does not involve an unreviewed safety question. Currently, approximately 25 members of the plant staff hold a valid NRC senior operator license. By virtue of the training and qualification requirements met to obtain this license, these individuals meet the requirements for a CFH. The appropriate number of additional personnel will be trained and qualified as a CFH in accordance with the approved training programs.to ensure the minimum shift crew requirements of Table 06.2-1 for the LTDM are met. Specifications 6.2.2b through 6.2.2d are applicable only when fuel is in the reactor; therefore, these requirements are not applicable in the LTDM and are not included in the LTDTS. Specification 6.2.2', applicable during core alterations, is replaced by LTD'S Specification D6.2.2b which applies to spent fuel handling in the LTDM.

Specification 6.2.2.g requires the existence of administrative procedures that limit overtime for certain personnel who perform safety-related functions. This restriction is tied to plant operation since the postulated accidents posing significant risk to plant personnel and the health and safety of the public. occur during plant operation and not in the LTDM. Therefore, Specificaticn 6.2.2.g is not included in the LTDTS. 6.3.1 This Specification is included in the LTDTS as Specification D6.3, except the requirement for a Shift Technical Advisor (STA) has been deleted since an STA is not required in Cold Shutdown,-and thus, not required in the LTDM. 6.4.1 This Specification has been modified to reference the CFH training programs (Attachment III) and is included in the LTDTS as Specification D6.4. Besides the retraining and replacement training of Certified Fuel Handlers, which is specifically addressed in LTDTS Section D6.4, the remainder of the plant staff will be trained in accordance with plant administrative procedures to maintain a level of staff competency commensurate with a plant in the LTDM. Plant staff qualification requirements will continue to meet the requirements of ANSI N18.1-1971. Because there is no regulatory requirement to have a NRC approved training program for non-licensed staff at an operating nuclear power plant, no requirement for a NRC approved non-licensed staff training program is included for the LTDM in i the LTDTS. 6.4.2 This Specification for Fire Prigade training was removed per Generic Letter 88-12 and is included in the Fire Protection Plan-as specified in PA-180. 6.5 Specifications 6.5.1 and 6.5.2, the Plant Review Committee (PRC) and Management Safety Review Committee (MSRC) requirements, are combined and rewritten into a single Specification, LTDTS D6.5.1, (the Nuclear Safety Review and Audit Committee (NSRAC) requirements), to address the LTDM and the reduced plant activities, review, audit, and oversight requirements associated with a plant that is defueled.

These qualification requirements are-L (1) personnel filling positions in the Nuclear Organization who meet or exceed ANSI N18.1-1971, Sectiol 4.2 or 4.4, or (2) other personnel who meet or exceed ANSI /ANS 3.1-1981, Section 4.7.2. This qualification requirement for NSPAC members is included in the LTDTS as Specification D6.5.1.2. The function, composition, meeting frequency, quorum requirements, review responsibilities, authority, and records requirements for. the NSRAC are a combination of existing PRC and MSRC requirements rewritten such that the NSRAC requirements are commensurate with a I plant in the LTDM. The NSRAC requirements are included in the LTDTS subparts that comprise Specification 06.5.1. LTDTS Specification 06.5.2 is not used. l Specification 6.5.3 is editorially modified to clarify the l applicability of the review requirements for specific procedures, l plans, manuals, and programs and to reflect the current organization. These requirements-are included in LTDTS Specification 06.5.3. The audit requirements of Specification 6.5.4 are modified to i reflect the non-operating status and defueled condition of the plant and to address the activities conducted in the LTDM, and are included in the LTDTS as Specification D6.5.4 with the following changes in audit' frequencies: l^
- 1. The frequency of audit requirement 6.5.4c is changed to once L
per year from once per six months. This reduction in frequency is consistent with the reduction in plant activity associated-with a plant in the LTDM.
- 2. The Facility Security Plan audit frequency is changed to yearly from two years'to reflect the audit performed in accordance with 10 CFR 73.55(g)(4).
- 3. The audit frequency of the REMP and implementing procedures is changed to 2 years from 12 months to be consistent with the standard RETS and the audit frequency for the ODCM and PCP.
Also, as required by Generic Letter 89-01 and the standard RETS, the current annual audit of REMP results is retained. Audit requirements 6.5.41 and 6.5.4j address Fire Protection, are editorially combined into a single Specification, and are included. o L in the LTDTS as Specification D6.5.41. 1 l-l 1

Since the Section 2 Safety Limits are not applicable in -the LTDM (see the evaluation for Section 2 on page 8 of this SAR), this Specification is not included in the LTDTS. LTDTS Section D6.7 is not used. 6.8 This Specification has been modified to reflect those procedures, plans, programs, and manuals required for a plant in the LTDM and is included in the LTDTS as Specification 06.8. For the LTDM, the Certified Fuel Handler-training programs and the Quality Assurance program arc added to the list of Procedures, Plans, Manuals, and Programs included in LTDTS Specification D6.8.1. In addition, requirements for the Radioactive Effluent Controls Program and the-i REMP are included in the LTDTS in accordance with Generic Letter 89-01 as Specifications D6.8.3a and D6.8.3b, respectively. As ~previously justified in Proposed Technical Specification Amendment No. 155 and approved-by the NRC in Amendment No. 98, the NRC granted the District a deviation from the Standard RETS requirement (NUREG-0472) relating to the dose projection. limit for operation of the liquid effluent radwaste treatment system. The NRC approved a 31-day dose projection limit of 81/3 percent of the annual 10 CFR 50, Appendix I dose guidelines, on liquid effluent radwaste treatment system operation, instead of the Standard RETS 31-day dose project limit of 2 percent of the annual guidelir,es. l This relief is necessary because Rancho Seco is a dry site, thus making compliance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix I more difficult. Therefore, the 31-day dose projection limit which currently exists in the Technical Specifications is retained for the LTDM and is included in the LTDTS as Specification D6.8.3a.7. - Also, due to the absence of Iodine-131 and Iodine-133 in the plant and the absence of any productior, trochanism for these isotopes in y the LTDM, requirements addressing'these isotopes are excluded from I LTDTS Specification 06.8.3a.10. L 6.9.1 Specifications 6.9.1.1 through 6.9.1.4 provide requirements for submitting various startup related reports. These reporting I requirements are not applicable in the LTDM and are not included in the LTDTS. 6.9.2.1.1 This Specification, Annual Occupational Radiation Exposure Report, is included in the LTDTS as Specification 06.9.1.1.

SUMMARY
l l The Rancho Seco LTDTS provide the controls necessary for the protection of the I . health and safety of the public in the LTDM. These LTDTS are intended to act l-as a stand alone document and to take the-place of Appendices.A and B to j Operating License No. DPR-54 during the current extended outage while the j plant is in the new defined mode LTDM. The LTDTS were developed based on an evaluation of credible accidents -applicable ~.in the LTDM,:and the equipment needed to mitigate these accidents. l Two accidents evaluated in Chapter 14 of the USAR are considered credible in l the LTDM; 1) a fuel handling accident, and 2) a LOOP. The LOOP accident is 1 p determined to have no adverse-impact on the health and safety of the public in t 1 the LTDM, while the dropped fuel assembly accident results in very small calculated exposures to the maximum exposed individual. The existing Rancho Seco Technical Specifications (Appendices A and B) were evaluated and the appropriate requirements incorporated into the LTDTS and other plant documents (i.e., ODCH, REMP Manual, and PCP) to ensure that plant closure activities will result in radioactive releases from the plant which are as low.as is reasonably achievable. A detailed description of this . evaluation is.provided in this safety analysis.- The LTDTS presented in Proposed Amendment No.182, Revision 1 provide . technical and administrative controls. sufficient to assure the-protection of the. health and safety of the public. For the plant in the LTDM, the LTDTS (Appendix C) maintain the margin of safety previously provided by the Appendix. A and B Technical Specifications when the plant was operating. l i l
n i-a License Change Safety Analysis Log ND,1091, Revisitn 1 Proposed Amendment No.182, Revision 1 Page 36 of 38 N0'SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION The District has reviewed the proposed LTDTS against each of the criterion of 10 CFR 50.92 and concluded that the proposed changes as described and evaluated in the above safety analysis do not: a. Involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated. There are only two credible accidents in the Defueled Mode, a fuel handling accident and a LOOP. The changes proposed do not increase the probability of either of these accidents since the LOOP is not controllable by the plant, and the requirements for testing of the fuel handling bridge remain unchanged. The consequences of the two credible accidents are bounded by the previous analyses for these accidents. The fuel handling accident scenario remains unchanged, but the consequences of this accident is reduced due to the length of the decay time. The extended time period available to restore offsite power before only 6.75 feet of water boils from the SFP (a minimum of 9.18 days as of January 3,1990) provides ample time to take corrective action to ensure fuel cladding damage does not occur following a loss of offsite power.- b. Create tne possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated. The proposed addition to the Operating License, the LTOTS (Appendix C), applies only when the reactor is in the LTDM. Therefore, only those activities and potential accidents associated with the SFP need be considered. Because the ability to maintain an adequate shutdown margin in the SFP is not affected, no physical changes-l to the SFP or SFC are being made, and systems required to safely store the i spent fuel in the LTDM will continue to be maintained, the possibility of a new or d fferent kind of accident-from any accident previously evaluated is not created, i c. Involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety since the margin of safety for the fuel handling accident is unchanged, while the margin of l safety for the :.00P event is not significantly reduced given the extended time period available to restore offsite power or to find an alternate means of adding water to the SFP. 1 Based on the evaluation provided above, the District has concluded that the proposed LTDTS do not constitute a significant hazard to the public and do not endanger the public's health and safety. u-m--
